“I’m really ecstatic that chefs Luciana Giangrandi and Alex Meyer have planted roots in Miami with their La Pollita taco cart in the Design District. Luci and Alex have worked in some of the best kitchens in the United States, including Animal and Son of a Gun in Los Angeles, and Eleven Madison Park, the Nomad, Scarpetta and Carbone in New York. Their pedigree and training shines through in everything that comes out of their humble mobile stand, from an absolutely outstanding fried chicken sandwich (seriously the best in town) to beautifully fresh and vibrant tacos. They’ve already made themselves part of the Miami food community, cooking alongside more established Miami chefs at local food events and working almost exclusively with local purveyors. So while I’d be happy to eat their tacos and tortas every day for the rest of my life, I’m also super eager to see what they have in store next for Miami and its hungry eaters.”
